See the entries for Grenfell and Ross in the Oxford DNB. 3pp, 12mo. On bifolium of light-grey paper. In fair condition, aged and spotted. Folded once for postage. The identity of the recipient is unclear, but the item derives from the papers of Sir David Ross [W. D. Ross], Scottish philosopher and Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University (see the Oxford DNB). Whilst fully aware that Ross's 'extra work'during 'this unhappy year' has been 'done with the view of giving your best to aid your country's interest', he has great pleasure in 'giving you the enclosed' (presumably some form of extra remuneration). 'The long hours & the worry of dealing with fresh questions every day, have been very trying to mind & body', and Grenfell assures Ross 'of the partners sincere appreciation of the manner in which you have executed your extra duties'. Grenfell has been 'personally specially interested in the able way in which you have executed the money & exchange questions arising from the Bank of England work'. He ends with best wishes to Ross and his mother for the coming year.

He suggests meetings before remarking, 'You seem to have been having lively times up near your part of the world lately and I expect you are full of excitement over the raids on the east coast of Scotland.'.
